DE-LIGHTED; DOC! JUST DROP 'ROUND AND GET
ACQUAINTED WITH A REGULAR EXPLORER
Philadelphia, Pa. It may be that
T. R. didn't discover the River of

Doc Farabee has his doubts about it,

lost his clothes, caught a fever, put
a few jungles and rivers on the map
and picked up 10 tribes unaccounted
for by the census bureau. Now, the
Doc is no hog for scientific honors,

his burrow all day long and fares
forth at night to feed.
